Spirited Salford can see off Hartlepool to reach third round

Former Man Utd forward Danny Webber got the opener in the 2-0 victory that day, and is 9/4 to net anytime again, while substitute Ritchie Allen’s (3/1) wondergoal ensured their progression.

Can former Pool Poole haunt old club?

One man in particular who will be up for this clash is attacker James Poole, who spent three years on Hartlepool’s books until 2014. He tops the anytime market for Salford at 2/1.

Current Pools players looking to find the net, though, include Rakish Bingham and Scott Fenwick, who have two goals apiece this term. They are both 5/4 to score anytime.

Luckily for the hosts, ex-Leeds United striker Billy Paynter is unavailable, though ex-Whites graduate Michael Woods (3/1) could feature.

Salford, who are up in third in the Northern Premier League Premier Division, though, should be able to call upon star of the BBC documentary Class of ’92: Out of Their League, Gareth Seddon (9/4).

Hartlepool gained a narrow 1-0 win over Cheltenham Town at home in the last round, and are the even-money favourites to triumph once more. A draw, meanwhile, is a tempting 12/5 price, which would mean a replay at Victoria Park.
